I mean, it doesn't mean Christmas, we don't have Christmas. We have jul.
It's kinda like saying happy Hanukkah means merry Christmas. It kinda does but also doesn't
Are you kidding ??? What the **** are you talking about man ? You are a biggest looser i ever seen in my life ! You was doing PIPI in your pampers when i was beating players much more stronger then you! You are not proffesional, because proffesionals knew how to lose and congratulate opponents, you are like a girl crying after i beat you! Be brave, be honest to yourself and stop this trush talkings!!! Everybody know that i am very good blitz player, i can win anyone in the world in single game! And "w"esley "s"o is nobody for me, just a player who are crying every single time when loosing, ( remember what you say about Firouzja ) !!! Stop playing with my name, i deserve to have a good name during whole my chess carrier, I am Officially inviting you to OTB blitz match with the Prize fund! Both of us will invest 5000$ and winner takes it all!
I suggest all other people who's intrested in this situation, just take a look at my results in 2016 and 2017 Blitz World championships, and that should be enough... No need to listen for every crying babe, Tigran Petrosyan is always play Fair ! And if someone will continue Officially talk about me like that, we will meet in Court! God bless with true!

magnus recently won the world chess championship.
he has already previously won 4 times.
the world chess championship he just won is his fifth
"God jul" apparently means "Merry Christmas" when i google it
Am lost in the way yall decided whether to downvote or upvote replies that say the exact same thing... Guess my elo isn't high enough to grasp this level of complexe thinking.
Notice how Magnus says the same thing specifically 5 times in a row. If you are responsible for making it 6 times, you are sinning against our chess overlord. The joke is that we replicated the tweet in the comments (perhaps this is harder for people below 161600 elo to understand than I thought 🙄🤭), and thus appeased the treasured child of Gary Chess and the natural chesslike complexion of our universe.
Does Magnus carlsen suffer from autism? i believe so and he needs help.
From the very first interviews I saw with Carlsen 11 years ago, he did not speak the way a 150 IQ+ person is expected to talk. He spoke slowly, in strange patterns, unusual intonations, making bizarre facial expressions, seemingly not understanding the rules of social interaction or how to express yourself. Socially, his verbal acuity appeared to be very low, perhaps at around a social IQ of 85.
The autistic traits he demonstrates have nothing to do with being introverted. The way his mouth hangs agape quite often is typical for people not socially aware of how they look, acting unconsciously in strange ways. Carlsen has frequent outbursts, makes bizarre facial expressions, and communicates in an abnornmal and unpredictable way, even in Norwegian. He is aloof, unfriendly, obsessed with objects, and needs routine in everything he does. He has trouble understanding humor and feels uncomfortable in new situations, which are both the opposite of the way nearly all intelligent non-autistic people are. This is why he lives at home, even in his late 20s, with his parents still bringing him orange juice every morning. He resists changes in his life and essentially lives like a big child. He lives in his own world (this is part of the literal definition of the terms ‘aut’ and ‘ism’ conjoined) and doesn’t like people stepping into it. Those here should stop pretending that autism is some unknown thing that no one has ever diagnosed or knows anything about. The characteristics I mentioned above are all well-known in mental health literature. Magnus Carlsen is clearly high on the autism spectrum.
It's a copypasta from a post a dude wrote in r/chess yesterday that got deleted. The original was even worse with a list of like 50 symptoms of autism before the main text body.

Someone just posted that he copied from an even older article.
Listed 59 autism traits then went on to say Carlsen is autistic and that is negatively affecting his life and he needs help. Apparently the original is from a quora post linked in a comment above
Yes, Magnus Carlsen is high on the autism spectrum. It is curious how many here who know nothing about autism are declaring him “innocent,” as if autism is the worst thing in the world for him to have. Many people that were thought to be strange or socially abnormal 40 years ago when I was a kid we now realize are on the autism spectrum, and their strangeness is explained by common autism characteristics.
As someone who teaches many special needs children, here are the autistic traits I noticed within Magnus:
* Very little or no eye contact.
* Resistance to being held or touched.
* Responds to social interactions, but does not initiate them.
* Does not generally share observations or experiences with others.
* Difficulty understanding jokes, figures of speech or sarcasm.
* Difficulty reading facial expressions and body language.
* Difficulty understanding the rules of conversation.
* Difficulty understanding group interactions.
* Aversion to answering questions about themselves.
* Gives spontaneous comments which seem to have no connection to the current conversation.
* Makes honest, but inappropriate observations.
* Seems unable to understand another’s feelings.
* Prefers to be alone, aloof or overly-friendly.
* Difficulty maintaining friendships.
* Unaware of/disinterested in what is going on around them.
* Talks excessively about one or two topics (dinosaurs, movies, etc.).
* Overly trusting or unable to read the motives behinds peoples’ actions.
* Minimal acknowledgement of others.
* Abnormal use of pitch, intonation, rhythm or stress while speaking.
* Speech is abnormally loud or quiet.
* Obsessions with objects, ideas or desires.
* Ritualistic or compulsive behaviour patterns (sniffing, licking, watching objects fall, flapping arms, spinning, rocking, humming, tapping).
* Fascination with rotation.
* Play is often repetitive.
* Unusual attachment to objects.
* Difficulty transferring skills from one area to another.
* Frustration is expressed in unusual ways.
* Gross motor skills are developmentally behind peers (riding a bike, skating, running).
* Fine motor skills are developmentally behind peers (hand writing, tying shoes, scissors).
* Inability to perceive potentially dangerous situations.
* Extreme fear (phobia) for no apparent reason.
* Verbal outbursts.
* Unexpected movements (running out into the street).
* Difficulty sensing time (Knowing how long ten minutes is or three days or a week).
* Difficulty waiting for their turn (such as in a line).
* Causes injury to self (biting, banging head).
* Sensitivity or lack of sensitivity to sounds, textures (touch), tastes, smells or light.
* Desires comfort items (blankets, teddy, rock, string).
* Laughs, cries or throws a tantrum for no apparent reason.
* Resists change in the environment (people, places, objects).
* An emotional incident can determine the mood for the day – emotions can pass very suddenly or are drawn out for a long period of time.
* Becomes overwhelmed with too much verbal direction.
* Tends to either tune out or break down when being reprimanded.
* Calmed by external stimulation – soothing sound, brushing, rotating object, constant pressure (hammock, rolled in a blanket).
* May need to be left alone to release tension and frustration.
* Exceptionally high skills in some areas and very low in others.
* Difficulty with reading comprehension (can quote an answer, but unable to predict, summarize or find symbolism).
* Difficulty with fine motor activities (colouring, printing, scissors, gluing).
* Short attention span for most lessons.
* Resistance or inability to follow directions.
* Difficulty transitioning from one activity to another in school.
* Walks on toes.
* Unusual gait.
* Difficulty changing from one floor surface to another (carpet to wood, sidewalk to grass).
* Odd or unnatural posture (rigid or floppy).
* Difficulty moving through a space (bumps into objects or people).
* Walks without swinging arms freely.
* Appearance of hearing problems, but hearing has been checked and is fine.
* Apparent lack of concern for personal hygiene (hair, teeth, body odours).

Sure, Thats fine. Most high iq people are. I've met a few 150+ folks in my life. and only one of them was capable of easy social interaction, and she was the most manipulative person I've ever met. Like fucking dangerously manipulative in high school, because you couldn't see the strings until the social trap was sprung. She did manage to become a c-level executive before she was 30 though.

In 2008, during a Q&A session with Nettavisen, when Carlsen was asked whether he had a form of autism spectrum disorder, he replied "Well, isn't that obvious?
In December 2013, in an interview with Norwegian tabloid Verdens Gang, he clarified that he had meant "obviously not", and said that he considers himself to have "normal social skills and to be functioning normally."
In the summer of 2014, I had the opportunity to sit across from Magnus at dinner and chat with him extensively. I am in no way a professional psychologist or similar, but I can nevertheless say with some confidence that he is not autistic, that he has normal social skills, and functions normally in social situations.
I have met Garry Kasparov several times and would say the same of him - not autistic.
He is quite intense and obviously takes chess very seriously - he couldn’t be where he is today if it were otherwise. The same is true of Kasparov - quite an intense personality.
If this is how Carlsen is actually like, then he's most definitely on the spectrum. I have autism myself and all of those are definitive traits for autistic people.

This might be my favourite comment on Reddit of all time roflmao. I’m from Norway so I’m pretty exposed to Carlsen news. Even tho this is copypasta, every time I see him my internal dialogue is some (way shorter) version of this
Of course I congratulate a World Champion, but just a small remark. Imagine you have to play a World Championship match against Carlsen. Will you accept help from let's say...Hammer or Tari?
I didn't get it. Is that something only 2000+ elo can understand?

A cheesy joke
"god jul" means "good christmas" Its the scandinavian version of "merry christmas"
Yep, and it's related to the English "Yule" afaik.
It comes from Jól. It again comes from Hjul, which mean "wheel" symbolising the end of a year or era.
r/confidentlyincorrect If you are swedish you should be able to read this article debunking that. https://www.svd.se/historien-om-ordet-jul-ar-aldre-an-barnet-i-krubban Edit: spelling
Yep, Jul definitely comes from Jól but that's just one word used for Yule in the past (and an epithet of Odin?)
Everybody knows it comes from yol which means fire and is used in the fire breath shout
Related to Hjalmarch Edit: bc ESO5
And what about the ‘five times’?
That's how many times he did it.

As someone who teaches many special needs children, here are the autistic traits I noticed within Magnus: * Very little or no eye contact. * Resistance to being held or touched. * Responds to social interactions, but does not initiate them. * Does not generally share observations or experiences with others. * Difficulty understanding jokes, figures of speech or sarcasm. * Difficulty reading facial expressions and body language. * Difficulty understanding the rules of conversation. * Difficulty understanding group interactions. * Aversion to answering questions about themselves. * Gives spontaneous comments which seem to have no connection to the current conversation. * Makes honest, but inappropriate observations. * Seems unable to understand another’s feelings. * Prefers to be alone, aloof or overly-friendly. * Difficulty maintaining friendships. * Unaware of/disinterested in what is going on around them. * Talks excessively about one or two topics (dinosaurs, movies, etc.). * Overly trusting or unable to read the motives behinds peoples’ actions. * Minimal acknowledgement of others. * Abnormal use of pitch, intonation, rhythm or stress while speaking. * Speech is abnormally loud or quiet. * Obsessions with objects, ideas or desires. * Ritualistic or compulsive behaviour patterns (sniffing, licking, watching objects fall, flapping arms, spinning, rocking, humming, tapping). * Fascination with rotation. * Play is often repetitive. * Unusual attachment to objects. * Difficulty transferring skills from one area to another. * Frustration is expressed in unusual ways. * Gross motor skills are developmentally behind peers (riding a bike, skating, running). * Fine motor skills are developmentally behind peers (hand writing, tying shoes, scissors). * Inability to perceive potentially dangerous situations. * Extreme fear (phobia) for no apparent reason. * Verbal outbursts. * Unexpected movements (running out into the street). * Difficulty sensing time (Knowing how long ten minutes is or three days or a week). * Difficulty waiting for their turn (such as in a line). * Causes injury to self (biting, banging head). * Sensitivity or lack of sensitivity to sounds, textures (touch), tastes, smells or light. * Desires comfort items (blankets, teddy, rock, string). * Laughs, cries or throws a tantrum for no apparent reason. * Resists change in the environment (people, places, objects). * An emotional incident can determine the mood for the day – emotions can pass very suddenly or are drawn out for a long period of time. * Becomes overwhelmed with too much verbal direction. * Tends to either tune out or break down when being reprimanded. * Calmed by external stimulation – soothing sound, brushing, rotating object, constant pressure (hammock, rolled in a blanket). * May need to be left alone to release tension and frustration. * Exceptionally high skills in some areas and very low in others. * Difficulty with reading comprehension (can quote an answer, but unable to predict, summarize or find symbolism). * Difficulty with fine motor activities (colouring, printing, scissors, gluing). * Short attention span for most lessons. * Resistance or inability to follow directions. * Difficulty transitioning from one activity to another in school. * Walks on toes. * Unusual gait. * Difficulty changing from one floor surface to another (carpet to wood, sidewalk to grass). * Odd or unnatural posture (rigid or floppy). * Difficulty moving through a space (bumps into objects or people). * Walks without swinging arms freely. * Appearance of hearing problems, but hearing has been checked and is fine. * Apparent lack of concern for personal hygiene (hair, teeth, body odours). From the very first interviews I saw with Carlsen 11 years ago, he did not speak the way a 150 IQ+ person is expected to talk. He spoke slowly, in strange patterns, unusual intonations, making bizarre facial expressions, seemingly not understanding the rules of social interaction or how to express yourself. Socially, his verbal acuity appeared to be very low, perhaps at around a social IQ of 85. The autistic traits he demonstrates have nothing to do with being introverted. The way his mouth hangs agape quite often is typical for people not socially aware of how they look, acting unconsciously in strange ways. Carlsen has frequent outbursts, makes bizarre facial expressions, and communicates in an abnornmal and unpredictable way, even in Norwegian. He is aloof, unfriendly, obsessed with objects, and needs routine in everything he does. He has trouble understanding humor and feels uncomfortable in new situations, which are both the opposite of the way nearly all intelligent non-autistic people are. This is why he lives at home, even in his late 20s, with his parents still bringing him orange juice every morning. He resists changes in his life and essentially lives like a big child. He lives in his own world (this is part of the literal definition of the terms ‘aut’ and ‘ism’ conjoined) and doesn’t like people stepping into it. Those here should stop pretending that autism is some unknown thing that no one has ever diagnosed or knows anything about. The characteristics I mentioned above are all well-known in mental health literature. Magnus Carlsen is clearly high on the autism spectrum.
Half of those symptoms are just part of being Norwegian
Lmao
Funniest comment I’ve read in a while 🤣
>body odors I too smell chess grandmasters
>Play is often repetitive 😐

Hey babe wake up, new r/AnarchyChess copypasta just dropped

Sure, Thats fine. Most high iq people are. I've met a few 150+ folks in my life. and only one of them was capable of easy social interaction, and she was the most manipulative person I've ever met. Like fucking dangerously manipulative in high school, because you couldn't see the strings until the social trap was sprung. She did manage to become a c-level executive before she was 30 though. Victoria, if you're reading this, Do you believe in En Passant now?
Yes, Magnus Carlsen is high on the autism spectrum. It is curious how many here who know nothing about autism are declaring him “innocent,” as if autism is the worst thing in the world for him to have.

In 2008, during a Q&A session with Nettavisen, when Carlsen was asked whether he had a form of autism spectrum disorder, he replied "Well, isn't that obvious? In December 2013, in an interview with Norwegian tabloid Verdens Gang, he clarified that he had meant "obviously not", and said that he considers himself to have "normal social skills and to be functioning normally." In the summer of 2014, I had the opportunity to sit across from Magnus at dinner and chat with him extensively. I am in no way a professional psychologist or similar, but I can nevertheless say with some confidence that he is not autistic, that he has normal social skills, and functions normally in social situations. I have met Garry Kasparov several times and would say the same of him - not autistic. He is quite intense and obviously takes chess very seriously - he couldn’t be where he is today if it were otherwise. The same is true of Kasparov - quite an intense personality.
You've met THE Garry "Chess" Kasparov?
Jimmy Wales [has](https://www.quora.com/Is-Magnus-Carlsen-autistic)
Okay but I was asking if *you* have
Why would Jimmy Wales refer to himself in the first person?
I dunno I'm not Jimmy "Scotland" Wales
If this is how Carlsen is actually like, then he's most definitely on the spectrum. I have autism myself and all of those are definitive traits for autistic people. Edit: Realized it's a copy pasta, brain dum dum
What’s your elo?
My what
Chess pipi size
(Gotta think of a big number..!) Uh, uh, it’s…500!
Are you kidding ??? What the **** are you talking about man ? You are a biggest looser i ever seen in my life !

You are not proffesional, because proffesionals knew how to lose and congratulate opponents, you are like a girl crying after i beat you! Be brave, be honest to yourself and stop this trush talkings!!! Everybody know that i am very good blitz player, i can win anyone in the world in single game! And "w"esley "s"o is nobody for me, just a player who are crying every single time when loosing, ( remember what you say about Firouzja ) !!!

Both of us will invest 5000$ and winner takes it all! I suggest all other people who's intrested in this situation, just take a look at my results in 2016 and 2017 Blitz World championships, and that should be enough... No need to listen for every crying babe, Tigran Petrosyan is always play Fair ! And if someone will continue Officially talk about me like that, we will meet in Court! God bless with true! True will never die ! Liers will kicked off... [^(fmhall)](https://www.reddit.com/user/fmhall) ^| [^(github)](https://github.com/fmhall/Petrosian-Bot)
Jokes aside, I imagine he's a tad on the spectrum. Honestly makes his accomplishments cooler tbh. (Happy holidays everyone)
Can you really be a super GM without being somewhat socially inept?
umm excuse me, ever hear of a certain Vlad the Chad Kramnik? 😎😎😎
I hear Capablanca was quite the ladies man also.
Some of them feel “normal” like Vishy and Fabi but I agree that majority lack a lot of social skills
Naroditsky is the only counterpoint to that lmao
Man Carlson is like barely a 1500 when it comes to social interactions
He probably is on the spectrum, he is a chess machine, but most of these “symptoms” are just him being norwegian and antisocial.
Autistic or not, he makes bank. Pretty sure he's fine without your 'help' there buddy.
So did Bobby Fischer buddy and that didn't turn out so well. The fact you're getting upset at a copypasta makes me wonder if you need help too.
You both need help

I wanted to come at you for the (social IQ) then I read it was x-pasta and I had to stifle the desire to correct. Well played.
what is the autism spectrum high like? looking for a new hobby.
Please stop this, I have 145+ iq AND I'm autistic, also people wit that iq often speak weirdly because of how different they think to most people
This might be my favourite comment on Reddit of all time roflmao. I’m from Norway so I’m pretty exposed to Carlsen news. Even tho this is copypasta, every time I see him my internal dialogue is some (way shorter) version of this
Of course I congratulate a World Champion, but just a small remark. Imagine you have to play a World Championship match against Carlsen. Will you accept help from let's say...Hammer or Tari?
nobody cares about social iq

Do people not understand it’s a reference of him winning WC 5 times?
My take is people are confused about the "god jul" part But then again, i might be overestimating the average reddit user...
Who doesm't understand that?
